'I told my parents I was safe in Northern Ireland'
Lanie moved to Ballyclare five months ago to take up a job as a healthcare worker, and said she thought the County Antrim village was peaceful.
But she came home from work on Wednesday to find a brick had been thrown through her front window and her car's windscreen smashed.
"I did not expect this to happen here in my area. I told my parents I was safe. My area is peaceful", she told BBC News NI.
